Warranty

Surviving storms

The frame and footings of a ground-mounted solar PV frame must be checked by a structural engineer to ensure that they can withstand the wind loads found at the installation site. The attached image shows damage which occurred to a ground mounted frame (not GroundLock) in northern NSW in 2005 (used with the permission of the owner).

Damaged ground mount

Note that when properly installed, a GroundLock frame will withstand once in 500 year winds. For full details refer to the GroundLock installation manual and the supplementary technical bulletins.
